Static Units

[Jagger]

If I add a static unit to a stack of regular defending units, what happens if that force is attacked?

Will the static unit prevent the whole stack from retreating if the battle goes badly?

Aren't static units unlocked when attacked?

I know the Cairo guns (fort artillery or whatever the ones with bricks in front of the unit picture are called) retreated when Polk seized the city in my current CSA game (in my Union game they were a static unit).

Static units aren't locked with the little lock icon, it just says they are static and can't leave the region. I have been attacked with static units in my Corps for added strength but I won the battle.

I was curious as well.
